10 Keys To Becoming Great - Secret #2

Secret #2: Develop a Niche - Decide What You Can Be The Best At and What You Cannot Be The Best At

In order to stand out from the pack, it is essential that you establish yourself as an expert in one aspect of the fitness field. In other words, you need to develop a niche. For example, if you have been successful in helping individuals look better by creating nutrition and exercise programs that work, develop a body transformation program or work with the obese population. If your strength is working in a rehabilitation type setting, focus on clients with low back or shoulder pain or develop a pre or post-surgery rehab program. Too often trainers try and focus on becoming a jack of all trades while wasting significant amounts of their time and energy. Focus on what you are passionate about, learn everything you possibly can about it and decrease the amount of time spent on things that don’t support your chosen area of expertise.

10 Keys To Becoming Great - Secret #1

Secret #1: Be Willing To Work For Free

In order to set yourself apart and become an expert as a personal trainer, you must be willing to work for free. This may be the number one thing you can do to solidify yourself as a great trainer and separate yourself from all the other trainers. I am in no way suggesting you give sessions away for free or not take a salary. What I am suggesting is that you be willing to do the things that the other trainers are not willing to do. It is these small details that will make the greatest impact on your career. I have summarized a few of these ideas below.

If you have a client going to physical therapy, for chiropractic treatment, or to an orthopedic surgeon, plan on joining them. I have done this on innumerous occasions and my clients are thrilled that I gave up my time and went out of my way to be with them.

Volunteer for a local team, youth camp, community health center. When these individuals are looking for a trainer, speaker or fitness expert guess who they will call first. Not only will you be adding a valuable service to the organization, you never know what contacts you will meet in the process that will require your services in the future. For example, I have volunteered with one of the local dance companies for the past 4 years. I received 2 referrals from the head physical therapist of the program - each of these referrals have been consistent clients of mine for the past three years.

Regularly attend seminars, symposiums and lectures in the health and fitness industry. It always amazes me that so few trainers regularly attend continuing education courses. However, every great trainer I have ever met, regularly attend as many courses as they are able to.

Keep up with the latest information in your field. Subscribe to journals, newsletters, perform internet searches, and join other trainer’s web sites. Read articles from business, marketing and sales books/journals as this information can often be applied directly or indirectly to the personal training industry. Make a commitment to reading at least something everyday that enables you to improve some aspect of your business.

Joe Vitale Reveals His Secrets To Writing Hypnotic Sales Copy

One of the hardest things to do as a fitness professional, is to write copy from the mindset of a marketer. I'm sure it is one of the least favorite things to do, and many of us would gladly train a full days' worth of clients than be forced to sit in front of a computer screen trying to write compelling sales copy. But the ability to write capturing copy is so important, you use it on all of your marketing materials already and might not even know it. It's on your website, your flyers, your newsletters and maybe even on your business cards. If you don't or can't delegate it to someone that is good at it, your basically stuck doing it yourself.
